Maraming mga Filipino sa Japan, kapag tinanong ng iba kung anu-anong languages ba ang alam ng Filipino, may mga Filipino na nagsasabing English, Pilipino or Tagalog, Nihongo, at SPANISH. How come na di naman nakakapagsalita ng Spanish ang Pinoy but parati nilang isinasali ang Spanish? I don’t get it.

Spanish was once widely used in the Visayas I think. Nung dati kase until the early 90’s, Spanish was a cumpolsary subject in College. We had a few semesters of it when I was still at UST (Pero sorry, I wasn’t that attentive)…so perhaps that explained it(?)

I studied Spanish, too. But do Filipinos really can speak the language? Palagay ko hinde.

oo nga may mga mayayabang talaga na marunong (?) daw pero di naman hehe. marunong man tayo ng ilang daang (o libong) vocabulary words, pero kung di naman natin alam ang tamang structure at grammar at di naman makapagsalita ng diretso ay wala din.

A mother of a high school friend speaks Spanish fluently. I think some of the older generations (from Cebu?) do or able to speak Spanish literally.

Spanish in the Philippines
Spanish is a language of historical and cultural significance. It is percieved as the language of the elite. It used to be an official language until 1987.
According to the 1990 census, there are 2,658 Spanish speakers and 292,630 creole (Chavacano ) speakers in the Philippines. The Philippines was a Spanish colony for 333 years (1565-1898). There are thousands of Spanish words in 170 Filipino dialects and around 13 million Spanish documents in the Philippine archives. Courts of law still recognize documents written in Spanish.
… Many of the older people speak it well in Zamboanga where the general population speak the creole, Chabacano (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=5 2i1gkhh0bac2?method= 4&dsid=2222&dekey=Chabacano+lang uage&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc02a).
… It is still spoken and maintained by mestizo families, and many Filipinos, even during the 60s and 70s, grew up with Spanish being their first and primary language, even before they learned to speak Tagalog or English.
…After World War II (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=5 2i1gkhh0bac2?method= 4&dsid=2222&dekey=World+War+II&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc02a) and during the Marcos (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=5 2i1gkhh0bac2?method= 4&dsid=2222&dekey=Marcos&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc02a) regime, many of the old Spanish-speaking families of Philippines (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=5 2i1gkhh0bac2?method= 4&dsid=2222&dekey=Philippines&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc02a) migrated to Europe or the Americas, including United States (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=5 2i1gkhh0bac2?method= 4&dsid=2222&dekey=United+States&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc02a). By 1940 (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=5 2i1gkhh0bac2?method= 4&dsid=2222&dekey=1940&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc02a) the number of Spanish-speakers in the Philippines was approximately 6 million, however, as a percentage of the total population the numbers had actually dropped. By the 1950 (http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery;jsessionid=5 2i1gkhh0bac2?method= 4&dsid=2222&dekey=1950&gwp=8&curtab=2222_1&sbid=lc02a) Census Spanish-speakers constitued 6% of the population, down from a 10% peak. In the Philippines today, the language is spoken by less than 0.01% of the population; 2,658 speakers (1990 Census).
…There are approximately 4,000 Spanish words in Tagalog, and around 6,000 Spanish words in Visayan and other dialects.

Welcome to Timog Forum, love_mitch… speysyal rikwest… just in case na HINDI ka naka-cellphone, pwedeng regular speak? meron kasing mga dinosaurs (katulad ko) na di ma-decipher minsan yung txt-short cuts.
As for Spanish naman… yung mga nag-high school sa Teresiana Poveda, “habla en Espanol en todos los dias de mi vida” ang drama sa buhay - in ader werds, fluent mag-Spanish, pwede mong ilaban sa mga Iberico at Latino.
Kasama ako doon sa generation na inabutan ng walang katapusang pagdurusa sa 12 units ng Spanish … hablo, hablas, habla, hablamos, hablais, hablan, silent “h” por favor, tienes, tienes. (Yung kuya ko, naabutan yung TWENTY FOUR units pa ang required!) Since pinilit sa 'yo na di mo naman type, at pulos old maid na terror pa yung mga teachers, entonces, after 4 semesters ay binurol ko na sa bakuran namin yung textbooks ko.
Pero nakakapagtaka rin, dahil on a 2-week vacation to Spain after 15 years of not using the language - aba, after a few days, naiintindihan mo na rin ang sinasabi nila, at nakakasagot ka rin kahit na pa-utal-utal at mali-mali ang grammar. Not enough to hold a philosophical discussion, of course, pero makabili ka ng sardinas sa palengke at alam no rin kung minumura ka na. :toast:

Siguro sa mga younger generations medyo hindi na nga sila matututo ng Spanish kasi wala na curriculum ang Spanish language. Pero siguro kung graduate ka nang college ng 80’s I m sure meron pang Spanish Language lesson at that time, kaya meydo marunong tayo…besides maraming Tagalog words na halos pareho ang tunog sa Spanish.

Gusto kong maniwala sa pananaw mo Ruby but this is what I’m talking about. Maraming Pilipino ang naniniwalang marunong sila ng Spanish. BUT hindi sa level na kapag tinanong kung anong language ang ginagamit ng mga Pilipino ay kasama sa sagot ang “Spanish”. Majority ng mga Filipinos ay wala sa level na ito. Naturuan lamang tayo sa eskuwela, or maybe kasi may halong Spanish ang Tagalog or Pilipino language. Hindi mo rin puwedeng isali sa kategoryang non-speaker of Spanish ang mga Pinoy na galing or tumira or nanirahan ng maikling taon sa Spain for obvious reasons.

Isa din yan sa mga unang tinanong sakin ng mga ka-opisina kong Hapon pag lapag ko dito sa bayan nila. sabi nila- ‘marunong ka ba mag espanyol?’ indeh sila marunong magtagalog tinranslate ko lang. Its not really a far fetched question to ask, Spanish culture is deeply embedded in ours. Mahigit tatlong daang taon tayo sinakop ng mga espanyol. We declared independence 1898, a little over one hundred years ago, ang pera nga natin ay Peso which according to Wikkepedia (Philippine peso - Wikipedia), means weight in spanish. Marami sa bokabularyo natin ay hango sa mga spanyol, tulad ng Queso, iho, iha, Kubyertos, Pulboron, ultimo pangalan ng bansa ‘Pilipinas’ ay galing sa pangalan ng Hari nung mga espanyol nung nadiskubre nila ang mga isla (Las Islas Filipinas). So nung tinanong ako -Marunong ka ba mag espanyol? – i resisted the urge to say " nak ng teteng pare, sa itsura kong to mukha ba kong marunong mag ispanish?" – I just explained that we were once a colony of spain and many of our words are spanish words wich we have adopted <alam nyo ba kung ano ang ibig sabihin ng ‘Conio’ ??>. Na-iintindihan nila kasi sila din nag aadopt ng foriegn words, at plus pogi points kasi sa kanila pag medyo alam natin ang history ng sariling bansa. So next time a nihon-jin asks if Filipinos speak spanish, the best answer would be “it used to be spoken by the ruling elite, but not used as much today. Oficially, we speak Filipino and English, and we have many other colorful dialects…” o diba.

The old Families in the Philippines still use Spanish as their mother tongue. Like Zobel,Ayala,Palanca and the Aboitiz in Cebu and the Osmena and many others.
Many hacienderos and hacienderas in the Visayas are still spanish speakers. Lucy Torres’s Family still speak Spanish.
Cebuano language has lot of spanish words. So far in my five years of living in Japan I have never heard of anyone who claims to speak Spanish. But I had a very pleasant experience awhile back when I lived in Sendagaya Shibuya-Ku. On the train on my way home from work, there were five Mexicanos who asked me where I was from. And I said I am from the Philippines. They asked me if I could speak Spanish and I bluntly said no. But to my surprise they said yes I could speak Spanish because the name of the days and months are in Spanish. When we count, it is Spanish. When we count the time it is in Spanish and Filipino names are Spanish so Filipinos can speak Spanish. And they call me their brother. I got FLUSTERED and flattered. I couldn’t say a word. They further told me that in the U.S. the HIspanic race consider Filipinos as one of their own. Ow! As if I care.

What do you think Docomo San. I think Poinblank is right. If we could live in a Spanish speaking country, it wont probably take us six months before we can get fluent in Spanish. Just like the Chinese and the Koreans. They are the ones who could master the Japanese language in no time. My Chinese staff before, she couldn’t speak Japanese when she came to the restaurant. But after five months she got more fluent than me… What do you reckon?

ang mga Fluent sa Spanish na mga Filipino sa Pinas ay ang mga tinatawag na mga Chabacano.
Cavite City, Ternate, at Zambales ang alam ko na mga lugar ng Chabacano.
isa rin ako sa mga umabot sa Spanish Curriculum noong College Days (last batch na yata kami) and marami talagang mga salita sa Tagalog na same sa Espanol…like mesa (la mesa) , aparador…etc… para sa akin, you must be at least more than 80% accurate sa pagasasalita ng kahit na anong Language para masabi mo na capable ka magsalita and not simply because nahaluan lang ang Tagalog ng original Spanish words.

Are!Are!hindi ako nagkakamali kasi ang nanay ko ay taga Cavite City at isang Chabacano (kahit di sya sikat) at ako rin ay taga Cavite (pero di marunong mag Chabacano kasi sa ibang lugar ng Cavite lumaki) tulad ni depp.
kaya nga sinabi ko na " Cavite City, Ternate, at Zambales ang ALAM ko na mga lugar ng Chabacano."
at hindi ko naman sinabi na “Cavite City, Ternate, at Zambales ang mga lugar ng Chabacano.” so definitely I am expecting na meron pang mga lugar na HINDI KO ALAM na pwedeng ma-include ng ibang mga member.
So much better kung ang sinabi mo eh…bukod sa mga nabanggit ko ay ang lugar na Zamboanga ay mga chabacano rin dahil doon nagmula sina Ronel Victor at John Estrada.
ang pagkakamali ko lang eh, hindi pala Zambales kundi Zamboanga ang dapat nasa list ng lugar na sinabi ko:
Cavite City at Ternate are both placess na nasa Cavite

common misunderstanding yata yan ng mga Latinos, although we use many spanish words it doesn’t mean that we do speak the language. the fact is these spanish words are borrowed and integrated into the Filipino language (e.g. mesa, plato, asosasyon, etc.). also, some spanish words that we use have different meaning. but we can’t blame the latinos to think as such because we use too many spanish words.

Yup. An example would be Pasko. The etymological root would come from Pasqua meaning Easter. So, why do we use Pasko to mean Christmas. Is it because we adopted the word from times when Christmas was being celebrated in spring?
Another one is Punyeta. I asked a Spanish friend once what it meant. He said that the Spanish use the expression - far puneta - which means to masturbate.
BTW, the Philippines is the only former Spanish colony I know of that doesn’t use Spanish as it’s lingua franca. The reason was (I read this somewhere) that the Spanish found it to their advantage that we didn’t have a language we can all understand and speak. In that way we were unable to organize ourselves, share ideas or what have you so as to be able to unite the country. United we stand divided we fall. And so we did and so we still do (despite a unifying language).
